This document outlines a lesson plan about the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The objectives are for students to understand the cause, effects, and responses to the earthquake, including how the level of development influenced its impacts. Activities include a "tectonics bingo" game, reviewing resources about the earthquake, and creating notes covering key details like location, effects, responses by the local and world communities, and social/economic/environmental impacts. Students then summarize their knowledge on a "case study card." Later activities discuss planning, preparing, and protecting against earthquakes, including safe building design and assembling emergency supply kits. The homework assigns students to research the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

1. Kashmir Earthquake 2005
Learning objectives
All to know cause, effect, response for the Kashmir quake
Most to be able to include specific detail on the case study
Some to evaluate how development status influenced the
earthquake
Starter – Tectonics bingo!
1. Place the twenty phrases anywhere you like – I’ll read out the
clues – prizes for horizontal line & vertical lines.
2. Highlight any words you did not know – read up on their
definitions from the vocabulary sheet – then stick both into your
books.

2. Kashmir Earthquake case study
• You have the following resources:
– Textbook resources (find them yourselves!)
– Youtube documentary (make notes!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3ieusxKQ_w
– Kashmir fact file – word document
• Task – Create detailed notes in one of these formats:
– Surrounded map
– Mind map
– Extended writing
– Talking heads
To cover the points on the next slide
40 Minutes to complete this
folks!

3. Case study key points
When did it
happen? Where in
the world?
Draw me a
map! Any long term
consequences?
Injured /
homeless
figures? How many
people killed?
What were the
immediate
effects?
How did the
country
respond?
How did the
world
respond?
Envt, social
, economic
impacts
Did
development
status matter?

4. Demonstrate learning
You have TEN minutes to condense your case study knowledge onto
the case study card, and then stick this into your book after your notes.

5. Reducing the impacts of Earthquakes
• Starter – An earthquake is happening NOW – get to the safest point
in the room NOW
• How did you choose this spot?
• So lets now think about how we can:
– Plan
– Prepare
– Protect
For earthquakes
• Task 1 – Watch the youtube video on safe building design
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZoHoPFHAtw

6. Planning for earthquakes
• Label the image of the LA Emergency Op Centre with
it’s features (some were not mentioned!)

7. Planning for Earthquakes
• So....it’s time to go shopping.
• We ALL love writing lists – your task is to write
one which lists all the things you would keep
in your BOB (Bug Out Bag), in case of an
earthquake.

8. Reducing earthquake impacts
• Create a mind map to detail the varying ways in which people
can help reduce the impacts of quakes –
plan, prepare, protect.
• Extension – how does development state affect the severity of
earthquake impacts?

9. Homework
• Flipped learning! Go to the department blog and watch the
videos on the Northridge 1994 Earthquake – the MEDC
tectonic case study.
• You are also highly advised to do further reading, make extra
notes, before next lesson.
• BE AWARE – next lesson will start with questions/activities
based on this case study, with NO input from me – you will
need to know the details of this earthquake.
